HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 cc286-7W
97. Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Minister of Labour whether discussions are going on with trade unions and employers' associations for ending in December the war period for the purposes of the Restoration of Pre-War Practices Act, 1942.

Mr. Isaacs

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Acton (Mr. Sparks), on 20th December last. It is now for the two sides of each industry affected to consider jointly what arrangements for the purposes of this Act are necessary in view of the decision to end the war period in December next.
